On their first Father's Day without him, Johnny Seibold's wife and daughter decided to celebrate his life by writing him a note and sending it to heaven. They attached the handwritten letter to a batch of balloons and released it at his grave.

"We thought the idea of sending balloons to heaven sounded good," said Siebold's wife Sandy, according to KFOR.

They even put instructions on the note, asking that if someone found the letter that they contact the mom and daughter. Turns out, that wasn't necessary.

"It has given us a lot of peace, and a we feel just really good about where he's at," Sandy said.
